## Job description

## ABOUT US

Reframe Systems is a Physical AI and robotics company on a mission to make high-performance housing attainable and abundant in the communities where people want to live. Through our vertically integrated delivery model and highly automated microfactories, we deliver climate-resilient homes and buildings with greater speed and predictability than traditional construction.

Our volumetric modular buildings are produced in our Andover, MA microfactory, with a growing pipeline across North America and a new microfactory on the way. We are building a system that balances repeatability with site-responsive design, enabling homes adaptable to each site, community, and customer need. Our cross-disciplinary team brings together architecture, robotics, design engineering, software, factory operations, and field delivery to change how housing gets delivered.

We’re reimagining the future of housing through a smarter and more sustainable system that empowers people to live better. Come build it with us.

## OVERVIEW

We’re looking for an entry-level Carpenter to join our growing team. This role focuses on building and assembling modular housing components—ranging from framing and sheathing to installation of doors, windows, and structural elements. You’ll contribute to both factory production and on-site assembly, ensuring our homes are strong, accurate, and built to last.

## RESPONSIBLITIES

- Perform carpentry tasks in a controlled factory setting and on residential job sites.
- Frame and assemble wall, floor, and roof components using standardized methods.
- Assist in installing doors, windows, subfloors, sheathing, and other structural or enclosure elements.
- Collaborate with team members to ensure assemblies are accurate, consistent, and ready for follow-on trades.
- Interpret shop and construction drawings to guide accurate builds and installations.
- Operate saws, nailers, routers, and other woodworking tools safely and efficiently.
- Conduct quality checks to ensure assemblies meet company standards.
- Maintain clean, organized workspaces and follow all safety procedures.

## QUALIFICATIONS

- High school diploma or equivalent.
- 1+ years of carpentry experience a plus.
- Experience in framing, sheathing, and installation of windows, doors, and related assemblies a plus.
- Comfortable reading drawings and measuring to tight tolerances.
- Proficient with hand tools, power tools, and precision measuring instruments.
- Ability to lift to 50 lbs and work in overhead positions for extended periods.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to craftsmanship.
- Team-oriented and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.

## WORKING CONDITIONS

- Primary work location is at Reframe’s factory in Andover, MA
- Physical demands include standing, lifting, bending, and handling materials/tools.
- Some overtime or weekend work may be required to meet production schedules.

Reframe Systems is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, protected veteran status, or any other characteristic protected by law.

If you believe you have the skills to thrive in this role, we encourage you to apply—even if you don't meet 100% of the listed requirements. At this time, we are only considering candidates who are authorized to work in the U.S. without the need for current or future visa sponsorship.

## About Reframe Systems

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Reframe Systems is a vertically integrated design-build manufacturer that uses robotics, automation, and local microfactories to deliver high-performance, climate-resilient homes faster and more predictably.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A)
- **Headquarters**: Andover, Massachusetts, United States
- **Founded**: 2021
- **Founders**: Vikas Enti (CEO), Aaron Small (Co-Founder, Head of Manufacturing & Operations), Justin Hersh (Co-Founder, Head of Tech)

## Core Business
- Primary industry: Construction hardware manufacturing / residential housing
- Target customers: Developers (B2B) – works with builders on projects from 2 units to entire communities
- Mission: “Unlock resilient housing as a basic human right” – also described as “climate resilient homes for all”

## Products & Services
- **Design-Build Manufacturing Service**: End-to-end service covering design coordination, permitting, site preparation, fabrication in microfactories, delivery, assembly, and finishing. Uses robotics and digital work instructions to reduce waste and shorten schedules.
- **Microfactory Fabrication**: Local, tech-enabled factories that produce high-performance building components with millimeter precision, enabling parallel site work and faster occupancy.
- **Transparent Pricing Model**: Fixed upfront pricing with no hidden costs – a rare offering in homebuilding.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding – $20M (Series A, September 2025) per LinkedIn; CB Insights reports $25.78M total raised (may include additional instruments)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Eclipse (lead), VoLo Earth Ventures (lead); other investors not named in public sources
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - 57 employees as of mid-2025 (+40.4% year-over-year)
  - Active in two U.S. markets: New England (triple-deckers, townhomes) and Southern California (wildfire rebuilds, resilient infill)
  - 4 open job postings (Area Manager, Design Automation Engineer, Head of Operations, “Dream Job”)
  - Series A raised in 2025 signals strong investor confidence

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full Vertical Integration**: Owns the entire process from design to occupancy – fewer handoffs, single accountable team.
- **Local Microfactories**: Distributed, smaller factories reduce supply chain risk, shorten logistics, and allow customization to local codes and climates.
- **Robotics & Automation**: Combines industrial robotics with digital work instructions for precision, speed, and waste reduction.
- **Climate Resilience Focus**: Homes designed for extreme weather (wildfire, heat, storms) with airtight shells, healthy materials, and low energy bills.
- **Transparent Pricing**: Fixed-cost model removes a major pain point for developers.

## Strategic Focus
- Scaling the microfactory model to new U.S. markets (actively seeking new project sites)
- Increasing production capacity and hiring to meet demand from housing crisis and disaster rebuilds
- Continuing to refine robotics and AI-driven design-to-fabrication workflows

## Why Work Here
- **Mission-Driven Work**: Join a team building climate-resilient housing as a solution to the housing crisis and environmental challenges.
- **Fast-Growing Startup**: 40%+ headcount growth in the last year; Series A funding provides runway for expansion.
- **Cutting-Edge Tech**: Work with robotics, AI, automation, and advanced manufacturing in a traditionally low-tech industry.
- **Collaborative Culture**: Described as “experts, innovators, builders” with a flat structure and cross-functional teams.
- **Open Roles**: Currently hiring for operations, design automation engineering, and area management – likely on-site at microfactory locations or Andover HQ. No explicit remote policy stated.
- **Impact**: Opportunity to shape the future of homebuilding from the ground up.
